Dear Becky,
I’m so glad that you have been a chosen All-Star to be chosen for the WNBA roster during the week of Celebreties. You have certainly earned the recognition and we trust that you will have a wonderful WNBA season this year as you have in the past. We are very fortunate to get the games on TV out here in the Rocky Mountain region. Our prayer is that you may be able to have another record-breaking year in basketball.
A great friend of yours on the court,
Dan Reed of Longmont,CO
